The rebels who appeared in Xianling were Cao Wenzhao's first brigade, they took the land route, and the marching speed was a day later than that of land and water, and when they heard the rumbling cannon sound of Chengtianfu, they knew that they had no chance to participate in the battle against Chengtianfu, so they decided to come to take Xianling.

Zhou Shichen ordered the first brigade of Cao Wenzhao, who was at the forefront, to seize Xianling, and when Cao Wenzhao arrived at the west gate of Xianling, it was already five watches.

The deputy general came to Cao Wenzhao to ask for battle: "Master Cao, just leave the task of capturing Xianling to me, I will take two battalions of men and horses, and I will definitely take Xianling within one day!" ”

"Grandma, a bear! These turtle sons are hiding in the city and don't come out, how are you going to fight? Cao Wenzhao asked.

Ping'an was already confident, and he pointed to the wooden fence wall contemptuously and said: "This fence wall will be turned into ashes as soon as it is burned with fire, and it will not take much effort at all." ”

"Hmm!" Gao Junshan said, "You can take a fire attack, but don't be careless, and transfer an artillery battalion to you, and be sure to take Xianling before it gets dark." ”

Ping'an said: "Don't worry, Master Cao, you must take the Xianling Tomb before dark!" ”

"Also," Cao Wenzhao stopped Ping'an, "Taizhi (Ping'an character), we must strictly abide by the military discipline of King Qin, and protect the emperor's garden and mausoleum." ”

Ping'an bowed his hand to Cao Wenzhao and said, "Master Cao, I understand." These are all historical relics of our country, and no one is allowed to destroy them. ”

"It's good to understand, let's do it!"

Ping'an mobilized the archers and fired rockets at the wooden fence wall, and with the help of the wind, the wooden fence soon caught fire, and they waited to burn the wooden fence and charge towards Xianling.

However, it was said that Qian Zhongxuan, the chief soldier guarding Xianling, was awakened by a noise in his sleep, and he sat up and asked loudly, "What happened?" ”

The sentry ran in in a panic: "Report——! The thieves are coming! ”

Qian Zhongxuan didn't believe it very much, he howled: "Explore again! ”

The sentry was quite calm, and he replied: "Master, don't probe any more, the thieves have already burned the wooden city and are waiting to attack us!" ”

Is this worth it? Qian Zhongxuan hurriedly summoned people to fight the fire, fortunately, the firefighting facilities in Xianling are very complete, and the pool is on the side, more than 100 people led by Li Zhensheng also joined the ranks of firefighting, don't look at this more than 100 people have no military training, but firefighting is an expert, because this is a compulsory course for their tomb guards, the fire was quickly extinguished.

Ping'an's side saw that the fire attack was not working, so he ordered the archers to carry out a second round of rocket strikes, so the archers were busy opening their bows, lighting arrows, sending arrows and other steps, shooting arrows with fire into the wooden fence wall.

This time, the mausoleum guards were prepared, and the rocket head was extinguished before it could start burning.

"His grandmother's! The ladder is for Lao Tzu! "When Ping An saw that the fire attack was ineffective, he wanted to carry out a strong attack.

As soon as the general gave the order, more than a dozen ladders that had been prepared long ago were sent to the front, and the defenders did not watch from the wall, but actively defended, shooting sharp arrows from behind the wooden fence wall, shooting down several soldiers who carried the ladders.

"Artillery battalion!" Ping An shouted loudly.

The chief post of the artillery battalion was a disciple of Chongwen, in his early twenties, and his subordinates were in charge of 200 Franc machine guns. At this time, the fifty Franc machines had just been erected, and before they had time to adjust the gun position, Ping An shouted, and the chief sentry immediately ran to Ping An.

"The artillery battalion is coming to report!"

Ping An looked like a stinky kid, but he knew that these people couldn't afford to be provoked, and if he could reach the level of the general whistle, he must be someone from Chongwen Academy, and he had learned the power of people from Chongwen Academy, so he just nodded and said, "Immediately blast the wooden fence in front of me off!" ”

After the gun position was adjusted, the fifty Franc machines sprayed high-speed iron balls and smashed them towards the wooden fence wall, and with the rumbling cannon, a black smoke with a strong smell of gunfire rose from the position.

Because the artillery position was only 100 meters away from the target, the huge impact force soon completely destroyed the wooden city wall that burned beyond recognition, and the defenders hiding behind the wooden fence lost their cover, retreated one after another, safely stepped on the war horse, and the first rushed over, and in an instant, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and the two battalions of nearly 6,000 rebels poured into the tomb like a tide.

"Grandma, a bear, give me a break!" Cao Wenzhao saw that Ping An had succeeded, and commanded tens of thousands of follow-up troops to enter Xianling.

The defending army was weak, Li Zhensheng, Qian Zhongxuan, and Xu Chengde fought and retreated, and in the end, there were no more than ten people left, and they were forced to retreat to the Qi'en Palace, and on the steps in front of the palace gate, the three were besieged by layers of righteous troops, so they had to put down their weapons and surrender.

On the Qi'en Palace, Cao Wenzhao sat in the center, and Li Zhensheng and other prisoners were pressed in front of Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao asked, "May I ask who is Lord Yushi?" ”

Li Zhensheng stood up and said: "Lao Tzu is!" ”

Cao Wenzhao's eyes showed a fierce light: "Grandma is a bear!" You dare to call Lao Tzu in front of Lao Tzu, I think you are tired of life! ”

Qian Zhongxuan on the side asked cautiously: "I think this general is a little kind-faced, could it be the general of Guanning Iron Cavalry Cao?" ”

The soldier replied: "It's not General Cao, who else do you think it is?" ”

"Oops! The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I am willing to surrender to General Cao. Qian Zhongxuan hurriedly knelt down and said.

Cao Wenzhao asked in confusion: "Who are you?" ”

Qian Zhongxuan said: "Back to Cao Ye, I am also a native of Datong, Shanxi, and I have been a small soldier of the Lingling Army in this Xianling. Cao Ye's name has long been heard, five years ago I went back to my hometown to visit relatives, and I was fortunate to listen to your teachings. ”

Cao Wenzhao said in a soothing tone: "It turns out that you are your own brother, get up!" ”

Qian Zhongxuan thanked him and said, "Thank you, Master Cao!" ”

Cao Wenzhao asked: "Are you willing to let you continue to stay in Xianling?" ”

Qian Zhongxuan replied: "I am a soldier, and I prefer to follow Cao Ye to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”

"What about you?" Cao Wenzhao's gaze turned to Xu Chengde next to Qian Zhongxuan.

Qian Zhongxuan hurriedly replied: "He is my brother and is willing to follow Cao Ye with me." ”

Xu Chengde is a smart person, he immediately knelt down and said: "Little Xu Chengde is willing to follow Cao Ye!" ”

"So, only you are willing to stay and take care of the Xianling?" Cao Wenzhao moved his gaze to Li Zhensheng again.

"Guarding the Tomb?" Li Zhensheng didn't know what Cao Wenzhao meant.

Cao Wenzhao said: "I know that you are the imperial history of the emperor's mausoleum, you see, how magnificent and brilliant this mausoleum is, this is not the exclusive property of the emperor's family today, this is the cultural heritage of our Chinese nation, no one has the right to destroy and possess, it belongs to our entire Chinese nation." Lord Yushi, would you like to stay here and take care of the tomb? ”

Hearing this, Li Zhensheng understood, and he also knelt down to thank Cao Wenzhao and said: "Cao Ye, don't blame me Li Zhensheng for having no eyes, Cao Ye is lenient with others, and I, Li Zhensheng, am willing to obey Cao Ye's arrangement." ”

Cao Wenzhao smiled, he made a gesture to Li Zhensheng to get up, and said, "Lord Yushi, please get up!" Since you are willing, then you will be wronged to continue to stay in Xianling and manage Xianling well. I Cao Wenzhao said that it doesn't matter what official name I gave you, you still retain your original official position for the time being, and when I report to the King of Qin, I will give you an exact official title. ”

"Thank you Master Cao!"

At this time, only a burst of footsteps could be heard, Feng Ju walked up to Cao Wenzhao and whispered in front of him: "Master Cao, I found that a Ming army of more than 2,000 people had been killed. ”
